    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Well it’s in the media now. Apparently there was no disclaimer in the Durango Herald article clearly stating that Murphy and Beaulieu were speaking on personal opinion and not representing CPW or the commission. Howard also highlights they may be in violation of Colorado Open Meetings Law, which...

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    Wow. Its almost as if you completely ignored everything I said and the facts presented by brocksw and Ben Lamb that dismantle Ashe's opinion piece. It would have been pretty difficult for me to study the NAM in the 80's, I was an infant and small child. I can respect you coming on here to defend...

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    I would be hesitant to elevate Ashe over everyone on this forum, especially since you have no way to ascertain the credentials of forum members. Pretty arrogant, wild statement. There are no limitations in Prop 127, it is an outright ban. Show me where a ban on Mountain Lion hunting is "needed"...

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    It is very unlikely that any of Polis' henchmen like Attorney General Weiser or DNR Director Gibbs would take any action against these Commissioners, whether they broke a law or not. I believe that one of the strengths of the commission is their attempts to stay above the political fray and base...

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    The Op-Ed’s have been raised to the DNR and AG. What’s glaring is the outright lies from Beaulieu and Murphy. Both testified in front of the Senate Natural Resources Committee that they did not support “ballot box biology” and now months later they are leveraging their position on the CPW...

    Pink camo, #dadbodhunter, and a whole lotta stupid!

    Epic thread, thanks for letting us follow along. So much good information on top of the great story!

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    It is incredibly disappointing to see such a highly esteemed wildlife professional and someone who in the past claimed to defend sportsmen and women while expanding hunting and fishing opportunities, take up arms with anti-hunting zealots like Wayne Pacelle and Sam Miller in an effort to...

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    Sounds like a great outcome if you were able to get legislation passed that recognized valued traditions, such as hunting, forever to be preserved. Congratulations, that is an incredible accomplishment. If those biologists and game wardens wanted language that expressly required management and...

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    My major concern is his stance on Prop 127 in completely ignoring the negative long term implications and terrible precedent it will set. All laid out many times on this forum in various threads. Your assertion that rights can’t regulated or taken away is false in my estimation. Numerous...

    Dan Ashe: former USFWS director, “useful idiot” for the anti-hunting movement

    Just another article from a nationally-acclaimed “Hunter-Conservationist” parroting more disinformation on behalf of the anti-hunting CATS campaign. Former USFWS Director Dan Ashe publicly endorses Colorado Prop 127 to ban mountain lion hunting. Does he realize that he is be used by the openly...

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Saw “No to Prop 127” signs on the interstate today for the first time. Very nice!

    "Colorado's first gentleman pursues new wolf-related laws, according to emails"

    Absolutely. He is accountable to the Gov at the end of the day, not anyone else. That was clear when the wolf reintroduction photo op/campaign ad with Polis and Reis and no notification to affected legislature members, county commissioners, or CPW commissioners. I am honestly surprised Marlon...

    "Colorado's first gentleman pursues new wolf-related laws, according to emails"

    Governor’s office (mostly Marlon, I would suspect) watches CPW and the commission very closely. You’d be very foolish to think they have any independence or autonomy from the Governor’s office. With the Dems in control of every single lever of political power, including a supermajority in the...

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    This article below is from the Anti-Hunting Policy Center at Colorado State University, essentially the information and polling arm of the anti-hunting movement in Colorado, led by noted anti-hunting, animal rights activist Rebecca Niemiec. Their survey information focuses on mountain lions and...

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    Well, it appears that Colorado State University’s Anti-Hunting Policy Center is back at it again. Crazy to think that CSU, a major ag and wildlife biology school, is now the full-time information arm of the anti-hunting campaign in Colorado being led by Rebecca Niemec, who left her position with...

    2024 AK fishing trip in the books

    Awesome trip. I made my first Alaska fishing trip this year for halibut and kings. It blew me away. Definitely won’t be my last, intend to make it a summer tradition. Only regret is not doing it sooner.

    Trump DESTROYS Comrade Harris in televised debate

    I believe that is what is referred to as “justice shopping”, an important component of social and restorative justice. Terms like “shoplifting” are part of the systemically oppressive system that denies true equity to others.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    Absolutely. The question is whether the Denver media outlets will publish rebuttals from hunters/hunting organizations. CATS proponents are all over every news outlet continually using the term “trophy hunting” and not one single journalist questions their use of the term. Come on now. Even the...

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    It’s not that the freedom of the press is abused, it’s that the press has become so biased in their reporting. Shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone which direction the Denver/Boulder press will lean on this issue. That being said, it is not an obstacle we can’t overcome.
